A Pikeville man is behind bars after allegedly attempting to sell drugs in a restaurants parking lot. 46 year old Kenneth May of Jay Street pleaded not guilty yesterday to 2nd degree trafficking in a controlled substance, trafficking within 1,000 yards of a school and possession of marijuana after officers responded to a call stating that a man was in the Pikeville Subway’s parking lot attempting to sell drugs. Officers with the Pikeville Police department made contact with May at the parking garage at which time they conducted a search, allegedly uncovering a bottle of Hydrocodone tablets. According to the arrest citation, the prescription had just been filled and thirteen of the pills were allegedly missing from the bottle. May remains lodged at the Pike County Detention center on a $10,000 full cash bond and is scheduled to appear again in court on Thursday for a preliminary hearing.
